hi there! I am new here! I have had migraine since I was 12! I am 33 so that makes it 21 years. that's a lot of ouchies!

I use imitrex to abort my migraine but since I get 3-4 a week that can get tricky. I have tried a lot of preventative treatments, beta blockers, Paxil, lexapro, etc but none really that worked for me. Recently am trying Topamax and am having very frustrating results that http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/migraine/for...f/6721031/m/50910762 I posted about here. Any advice appreciated!

I also get cranial sacral massage which has helped me at least feel better well being wise and I should do that more!

I am an artist and I work from home but I travel and teach and do workshops and lectures so having migraines can be really rough when you are teaching people who have paid money to see you! akk!!

SO RELIEVED to have found this forum!

Welcome, Claudine! I'm new myself, and I've received so many comforting hellos. I thought I was alone for so long, and I'm not seeing that a lot of people out there care. Heart So hang in there, keep us updated, and I look forward to keeping in touch.
Much love & God Bless,
tabby LoveYou

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.
